Hey Guys! FacelessDoll here! Sorry that it took me a bit to write this chapter because I was watching Rune Factory 4 videos of the bachelors. This next chapter is about. . . Hmmm. . . Well, whatever comes to mind I guess XD Maybe meeting Rod or Neil? Or going on a date with Allen? Or doing farm business? Meh.

DISCLAIMER: Harvest Moon and all things that are associated with it are all owned by NATSUME, You must be seriously drunk and high if it was owned by another human being.

I woke up from my deep sleep, recalling I don't have an alarm clock anymore, I tried to familiarized what had woken me up, I sat up and the sun's rays hit my eyes all of a sudden—"Wah!" I covered my eyes and became outbalance and fell down from my bed to concrete floor with my butt.

*THUD*

"Wahhh. . . That hurts. . ." I stood up and caressed my butt; the pain on it really had woken me up.

I walked to the kitchen to cook up some breakfast. After eating, I grabbed a towel and took a shower, and finally change into my working clothes. "Today will be the beginning!" I cheered up onto myself.

I headed outside and smiled to myself. I walked towards the field and started planting some turnips that one of the villagers whose name is Hana, owner of the General Store, had given me. She was really sweet of helping me. After planting the turnips, I then watered them with care. I stood up and felt proud of what I had done today; it's only a matter of time until I can harvest them.

I checked my watch and it was only 8:17. "I still have a lot of time, but what should I do to waste some time?" Then it clicked me. I clapped my hands together and shouted out "I should explore the town and get to know the villagers more." I happily hummed as I headed towards the town. Remember Alice, no shying out!

I ventured and found myself already in town, some villagers greeted me, but I only smiled and waved my hand in response. And here I thought I wasn't gonna chicken out. . .

"Well, lost again I suppose, Alice?" That familiar voice. I turned around and saw, once again, Allen.

"No I wasn't lost, I-I was just . . . taking a walk." I retorted.

"Well I say you're like a little kitten that is still not familiar with her home." He chuckled.

"And that is the reason why I was taking a walk to—"

"To get lost again?"

I then admit defeat, frustrated. How can he just read my mind like that? Does he have hidden powers or something? I crossed my arm and tried wandering.

"Tell you what, How about we have a date?" He then smiled.

"W-Wha-? I—"

"Can't? Why?"

"I hardly even k-know you! And saying things like a d-date out of the blue. . ." I covered my face.

"That's why there are dates, so you can know the person more. Let me think. . . How about we I show you around town? That would be great for our first date." He then grabbed my hands and said "Plus, not seeing your cute face is a shame and—"

When I saw his face really close to mine, I felt my cheeks even hotter. But his face seems to be surprised and he just stared at me. His deep blue sapphire eyes are focused on me. God, I must've looked horrible!

After a minute or 2, I finally broke the silence "A-Allen?"

"O-Oh. Sorry, I didn't mean to stare at you; it was just adorable how your face is redder than the tomato soup Clement cooks at his restaurant." He chuckled.

"I-it's ok! A-Anyway, sure, why don't you show me around town." I quickly changed the subject.

"Ok, then let's start where we left off."

Allen and I walked around town, with his help of guiding me around town, I manage to remember the places already, like Hana's general store, while we're there, she talked about her husband, Kosaboru, and if I have a time, I should meet him. I met the local restaurant's owner, Clement. He whisked me up with his delicious herb soup. Allen told me that if the food is overcooked, he eats it instead of throwing it out. I got to meet the family that runs the Travel Agency 'Camellia Travel' and their daughter, Hina, was cute as a dumpling; I even made her my friend. I met Olivia, the owner of the tea house; she was really beautiful and elegant. She told me to come to the tea house anytime. Emma, she was really like a mother, she told me she takes care of the shipping.

I also met the girls in town, though I thought I made a bad impression because I told them I never had girl friends before, they say it was ok because they were now my friends—except the fact they got a bit angry with Allen because they told me he is not the best tour guide you can count on—and I agreed.

I looked at my watch and it was only 2:30 noon. It's still too early to go back to the farm.

"Since we pretty much met the people in town, there are still some left." He smiled at me, expecting the words that gonna come out of my mouth.

"Alright, lead the way, Allen." I smiled and just followed him to a house, or a store to be exact.

As Allen opened the door, A dog suddenly jumped at me out of nowhere.

"Kya-!" I fell down on the ground and the dog suddenly starts licking my face. "Hey stop it! It tickles!" I laughed.

"Bark!" He continued licking my face, but I manage to grab him and sat up.

"Ah! I'm sorry about that!" Suddenly a boy with orange colored hair, on top of it is a black colored goggle. Unlike Allen, he has light blue colored crystal blue eyes. He wore a white shirt, with an orange colored jacket, but sleeveless and it doesn't have a hood. He wore a belt with gray pants that is bit rolled under the knee, and finally, a pair of white and red colored converse. He took the dog and put him aside on the floor.

"Are you ok? Sorry about him jumping on you just like that." He smiled

"Ah no, it was ok, the dog was really happy, so it was ok." I waved my hands frantically indicating it was not a big deal.

"But your face is not familiar around here. . . Ah! Could it be you're the new farmer everyone was talking about?" He asked excitedly.

"That's why we came for a visit." Allen answered the question and I just nodded in response.

"Wah! Nice to meet you! My name is Rod, as you can see, I own this pet shop, and I sell dogs, cats, and horses too! If you ever need a pet or a horse, just give me a call. And I hope we can become great friends." He grabbed my right hand and shook it frantically.

"It's nice to meet you too, my name is Alice. Thank you for the offer." I smiled, but he doesn't seem to stop shaking hand.

"Well, we should get going now, so you should stop shaking her arm, Rod." Allen then grabbed our hands and pulled them apart. "And now that we met everybody, now we can plan another—"

"Oh by the way Alice, did Neil say anything to you?" Rod asked with concern.

"Neil? Who is he? I never met him." I then looked at Allen. "I thought you said that we met everybody." I looked at Allen with pleading eyes.

". . .Ok! Ok! There's this last store we haven't gone to, we'll go there." He replied, he was a bit annoyed.

I then smiled with joy.

"Why did you just have to say his name, Rod?"

"Why? He's part of the village, and also I'll tag along with you guys! Let's go Alice!" Rod grabbed my hand and ran off.

"And why was she was so cute back there with her eyes?" Allen then followed them.

We arrived in a store that seems to be an animal shop. Rod quickly opened the door and shouted "Neil, are you home?"

"Well yeah, I'm working so it's obvious I'm here." A voice came from the inside.

I took a peek behind Rod's back to his appearance. He has a blond hair, he seems to be wearing a black long sleeve under his red coat. He wore gray pants with a design of a soldier's clothes that is in the army, and a pair of black boots. When I saw his eyes, it was ruby red. But when I looked at his eyes, it was kinda hard to tell what he was feeling, but was it. . . lonely? But when he turned his eyes on me, I became scared.

"What's that behind your back Rod?" He asked.

"Oh, It's not a 'what' but a rather a 'who' Neil. Alice this is Neil." Rod then pushed me and he just stared at me coldly.

"I-It's nice to m-meet you, N-Neil." I stammered, my eyes were tearing up.

"Whatever, if you don't have any more business here, then you should better leave." He then walked toward me and said "And if you ever pass out again, I'm not gonna help you anymore, you're on your own."

Wait, he was the guy who brought me yesterday in the clinic?

"Umm—"

"Then I guess we should get going, and besides it's getting late so I'll escort you home, Alice." Allen then took my hand and pulled me.

"Ah, wait—"

"Ah, wait for me guys, I'll come too! See ya tomorrow Neil!" Rod bid goodbye and ran to us, and Neil closed the door.

"But I even didn't get a chance to say thank you." I look down in depression as we walk.

"Don't be sad, there's always tomorrow." Rod comforted me with his smile.

". . . Yeah"

"Why would you say thank you to that guy anyway? Would you expect him to be friends with you then?" Allen said with an annoying tone.

"Allen! Don't be like that to Neil!" Rod protested.

"Sorry."

We reached my farm and I thanked them for taking me home and we bid farewell. I went inside the house, taken a shower, change into my night gown, turned off the lights and went to bed.

I should thank him tomorrow for what he did. After a bit, I yawned and finally fell asleep.

Man! That was a long chapter! It took me 4 hours just to finish this because my brother already turned off the lights and I can't see well in the dark. Just like previously, Comments, suggestions and other things that are in the same term with them are welcome! Thanks for reading!
